nd Fret 



Intro: C   

               F      C      G 
On a bright September day in fall  
   F                      C 
We sailed away from Montreal 
            F       C       G 
And I hung upon the railing high 
      F                          C 
And I waved the world I knew goodbye 
G                 F         C    
Sailed from home across the sea 
    G               F        C 
The other side, the heart of me 
           F         C        G 
And I just stood and waved my hand 
   F                        C 
In my world in the promised land 


                F      C               G 
And we ran like hares, ran through the close 
F                     C 
Doon tae the burn, in spate it rose 
                F             C       G 
We stood on the bridge by the bowling green 
F                           C 
laughed our words in steady streams 
    G             F         C    
The arc of stone across the river 
      G              F       C 
And a moment hung in time forever 
        F         C            G 
And the sun shone on us, every man 
   F                        C 
In my world in the promised land
